First I want to wait showing you this project because I dont't want to mix them and get a better feeling of the step by step from start to the end.

Because I dont't want to keep this side so long without news I changed my mind.

And also because it looks like I will finish this project first, to much fun with this nice dwarf bust ;-)

--------------

today I want to show you the start of my new project. The base is a bust that was given to me by our friend aned memeber Stefan aka SkelettetS. It is a bust of Gotrek by Forgeworld.

I'm a big fan of the books by Markus Heitz, especially the series of "The Dwarfs." So I try to coverd this bust into the dwarf named "Tungdil Goldhand". The point of the timeline I try to creat is out of book 4 when he comes back from Phondrason.

Enough about the story, lets start with the work:

First step is removing the undefined parts on the bottom of the bust and cover them with milliput.

At the same step I filled up the wounds on the back.

Second step is smoothing the milliput:

Following step was removing all texture I don't want to have on the bust:

Stubbles on the head...

...metal rings crossing the wound under the eye...

...rework the ear...

Building a eye patch of 0.,5mm tin plate and sculpting the missing part of the eyebrow.
